Our holiday in Tuscany
August 2014. After driving for more than 1200km, we arrived in Montespertoli, Tuscany.
On the go, we’d already seen what a wonderful region it was and we were looking forward to exploring it.
Even though there was something wrong with our booking, the friendly hotel manager made sure it became an unforgettable holiday. Instead of the seven days we thought we booked, we could only get six in this hotel, but he arranged for us to stay the last day in a monastery in Cinque Terre.
We stayed in an apart building with 3 bedrooms. Every ... room had its own theme and was also painted in this theme. It wasn’t exactly luxurious, but it was incredibly cosy and every room had the necessary facilities.
Every morning, there was an extensive breakfast buffet, which isn’t something typical Italian. Every day there was something different, like fresh fruit, home made cookies, muffins,…
During our residence in Villa La Capella we could enjoy a typical Tuscan meal in the hotel 3 times. It was served in the garden for all the guests, usually around 15, together on a long table. This way, we met the other people staying the hotel and we could share our stories. During dinner, we could chat with them in French, German and Englisch (once even in Dutch). We met some very interesting people there, sitting around a table with an incredible view on Montespertoli, enjoying our delicious dinner.
In the morning, after breakfast, the hotel manager Patrizio always waited for us to tell him what our plans for that day were. He then gave us advice which was 4star travelguide worthy. It was clear that he knew the area like the back of his hand. We followed his advice and saw the most beautiful places.
So Patrizio, we’re coming back some day!read hotel review

We had a suite. The suite was very big, but simply furnished. The heat was a ceiling fan to combat. The bathroom is for German tastes to get used to. Shower is at ground level and one has after showering every time a flood. However the rooms fit on perfect 'Italy-illusion '.
Fly screens on the windows nevertheless desirable.

The breakfast is for Italian conditions well. Sausage, bread, sweet is available. Eggs and coffee variants are prepared on request.
You have the possibility for 28€ the dinner in the hotel drives. This includes a glass procecco, delicious finger food, pasta, meat with vegetables and dessert.
Food is typically for tuscany-simple, but very tasty.
Eat with a suitable weather in the open.
All the guests sit on a large table, so that you ought to conversation and a good bottle of wine (from about 14 €) until far after midnight together sit.
I think, we German uS Italy before!
We have these evenings very much. Therefore there are alone for the ambience, the full score in the gastronomy.

In the heart of the tuscany location. Nestled in a hüglige countryside and is ideal for explore the culturally rich cities ( Florence, Siena, Pisa, luca)
However not suitable for a abendspaziergng. Hotel lies about 3 kilometer outside of the town.

Ideal place to explore the Tuscany with guided classic car tours by a very experienced guide "Patrizio".
We really enjoyed the family-like atmosphere s we were treated like old friends.
Dinner was so excellent that we put on some kilos but that was worth it.
we have seen many places we would not have found if we were going unguided and we are expierenced travellers.
So this will not be the last time to visit read hotel review

Cozy Italian hospitality. The dynamic Patrizio is the point of reference for any sports, food or cultural experience. The balloon flight with him is absolutely unforgettable. The comfort of the hotel is secured by Sonia, Patrizio’s sister.

Room

Our appartement was spacious and comfortably furnished. There was everything in the kitchen you need to prepare a meal (although we didn't make a use of the stove). There's a flat TV (with international TV programs available) and you can have free WLAN access. The room does not have a minibar - but downstairs there's the hotel bar where guests can equip theirselves with beverages leaving their name and room number/name.
The only little problem was the bathing room that didn't have a shower - so showering in the bath-tub without flooding the room was a challenge. Yet the bathroom had a window and was nicely equipped.

No comment on the breakfasts - as we didn't take breakfast (but from a mere view it looked very good...)
Evening menus: there is one menu with 3 courses every day starting from 7:30 pm. It is started with a glass of prosecco and appetizers. Guests are placed together at a long table, so you can come into contact and you can exchange experiences made over the day...
Dinners are served outside when the weather is fine. Charming atmosphere in candle-light.
There's a very good wine-list with wines from the region.
Meals and Wine are offered for a very fair and reasonable price!

Staff is very friendly. You receive tips about where to go, where to park, what to visit, etc. They speak at least English and German.
If you have an appartment, cleaning of rooms will not be performed daily - to be checked with the reception. If you book a hotel room, cleaning will be done daily.
Rooms are very clean on check-in.

The hotel is located outside of Montespertoli in a little wood. It is about 20 km from Florence, 40 km from Siena and 60 km from Pisa - so you are here in the heart of the Tuscany region with the most interesting renaissance treasures (Florence, Pisa, Siena, Lucca,...) and also in the center of the Tuscany wine region, where you can go up and down the hills and go visiting wine cellars and olive oil production farms.

We were with a motorcycle in the toscana, to tours of a central point to make. The owner turned out to be not only as very nice and helpful in all abgelegenheiten, but also as real magician which the assembly of tours subject. The evening food started with sparkling wine and appetizers, then 3 courses on a long, covered board. Just delicious, tuscan cuisine of the finest quality.
Very clean, really nice employees and a typical toscanishes flair, mixed clientele all ages and nationalities. A perfect vacation with 40 °c, we will be back. read hotel review

Hotel La Cappella Montespertoli-finally at home: while we were tired after a long drive from the massive brass button press, we are looking forward, the winter that the palm trees on the terrace on the first floor in front of 'our' apartment spared and, in the large entry on the quite frightening and, at the same time, erwartungsvolle bark of Patrizio's dog Hugo wait, we hear a friendly, excited quäkende voice from the speaker to the column next to the gate. Surprised we are looking at and non-verbal note, that we should not only understand this pig syllable word universe. ... The emphasis is on a friendly welcome and would like to conclude, finally speak. Before the gate opens crooning and we, as the years before, and heartfelt welcome as a matter of course, so we every day through the massive door of the wonderful old villa walk, and domes once again our view looking over the road to the neighbor property and the 'tower' of the castle similar property in the afternoon resting landscape at the foot of the hill, Aliano. From the parking space in the inner courtyard, right in front of the former chapel, beckons us Sonia with loud call. Patrizio's sister offloads straight from your car and looks and feels just like always infectious happy mood. But now the chirp of the cicadas all penetrating aware, actually a single cicada, the apparently in the cypresses across the street from the villa la Cappella and loudly on vacation it seems to be very welcome. La mamma nods us shy and not significantly through the front door, there are good places to shop, when we asked the front desk counter the gather brochures, browsing and our key from the room in hotel niriides beach. From the nearby kitchen tones familiar sounds, a drum, hiss as spicy angebratenem meat and the sound of the Ablöschens then, with wine, with vinegar, or with water, the rates are fun, and hungry. Already alone this noise our idea of wonderful evenings digress, in which the host as host to its legendary Patrizio, local outdoor dining under cypresses loads. From the kitchen urgent wortfetzen, spoke eloquently by Diana, Patrizio's wife, which almost in the connecting-noise seeping down, to get back to the present. Hugo is no longer, we were told later visibly agitated Patrizio, but everything else is as all the years before. Finally back in Tuscany, finally back at home. In order to learn such experiences, we would strongly recommend a stay family Tinalli villa la Cappella in Montespertoli the at. An atmosphere, all the expectations of a fantastic vacation in Tuscany met, a warm and informal Atmosphere as well as a patron, whose legendary recommendations for day trips, restaurants and wineries, noted on small note or snatches of endless-paper, years ago, the passion that inside tips and beautiful excursions in the wonderful setting of Tuscany, woke us up, the guarantee of wanderlust or just feel, to be back at home.read hotel review

We had a very nice stay at the villa. We enjoyed the local specialities at the restaurant; dishes we normally would not order by ourselves in a restaurant tasted delicious.

Our 1 week stay at this hotel is already a bit longer, nevertheless I was very surprised given the last very positive reviews the residence la Cappella. Should something changed? A check on tripadvisor but it quickly shown, that is not the case. Therefore. I decided, a review effect, because I unfortunately think, that one by exaggerated positive reviews led astray and says, a top hotel to find Perhaps the guests a little this' lull ', that the owner many travel tips and the ambience informal is. But with the most hotels in Tuscany is the case. The cons outweigh ... the pros but unfortunately by far: altogether has this hotel a very bad value for money. Both the breakfast ( even for Italian conditions ), as well as the dinner ( half board) is quantitav and qualitative an major disappointment - on the web site but almost impression creates, one meal in a Gourmetrestaturant. As very annoying we felt, that the hosts constantly insist, that the guests also the dinner in the hotel take. Food and drinks are totally overpriced and a 'welcome drink' guests without instruction on the cost later to calculate, is just a cheek. If you stay in the April/beginning May travels, should hot food carry forward, it is not heated, even if it pig cold is! The pool was neglected and even beginning May not usable. Loungers/ Cushions we had to somewhat laboriously itself together. Our room and in particular the very small bathroom were not renovated. In short: because of the many annoyances the hotel we can definitely not recommend it. Once and never again.read hotel review

Villa la Capella is travellers, which are not a guest from room eight 0 15 beds you want to be a fortress, but worth it for a vacation with a personal and individual title only hope to be. We were very warmly welcome! The owners, as well as the entire hotel staff was very interested in the stay so pleasant to make of Tuscany, but in no way pushy. The rooms are very large and very tastefully decorated. The room staff work exceptionally clean! The constantly changing and local dishes was also very good!
The hotel is ideal for discovering ... the most beautiful cities of Tuscany location. 20 minutes to Florence, San Gimignano. 25 after, 45 to Siena, Pisa and Lucca. 45 after. Not to mention, the unique landscape of Tuscany, with all it has to offer (vineyards, olive trees, etc. Mountains) is right outside the front door!
We will surely not forget the trip (or flight) with the hotel's own hot-air balloon over the breathtaking scenery. We'll be back!read hotel review
